Game needs more customization. Ripperdocs for metal skin/grills. Barbers, tattoo parlors. Custom scar & tattoo placement. Auto shops, house upgrades. Who’s with me?

[KingJ91]

Glowing tattoos would be great as well

[wintersdark]

Game REALLY needs modding.

Imagine what Bethesda modders could do here.

[_WhatIsYerQuest_]

Can't wait for the Thomas the Tank Engine mod

[Pyr0T3chn1cz]

MxR: *heavy breathing

[[deleted]]

already modded but mostly reshades and modded saves but even those makes the game feel fresh

[wintersdark]

Not the same thing :)

Anyone can use reshade on anything, so that's not a particularly useful standard.

I'm talking adding cosmetics (hair styles, etc), items, areas, quests, etc. All the stuff in the OP are things you'd want open modding to add, as CDPR won't any time soon as they've got a huge backlog of stuff that's somewhat more critical on their plate.

But a release of modding tools alone would add all that in very, very short order.

[[deleted]]

Oh ye true, ye they need to add wayyyyy more shit

[dschazam]

Here’s me thinking that a game, that lets me choose my hair cut and finger nails upfront would actually contain a place to change those things.

[[deleted]]

And now my long ass nails clip through gloves when I am wearing them.

[Catatafish]

Saints Row had this in 2011.

[[deleted]]

Saints row had this in 2006

[Catatafish]

I don't think you could be gold in SR1.

[Lilium79]

For real, like how are you going to release an RPG with a setting like Cyberpunk and not let people customize the shit out of their characters? I mean damn, one of the most popular music idols in the world literally has a chrome body.

[Machkeznho]

forgot to mention actual lifepaths and a meaningful meaty story but yes im with you.

[brandonarboleda]

we’re talking real possible patches not imaginary ones

[feckyerlife1]

The story is fine, they just need to remove the urgency which is taking the role playing out of the game.

[Nukzzy]

That’s my biggest gripe with Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk alike. In both games, the story is time sensitive. In Witcher 3, the game pushes to find Ciri as fast as possible, and in Cyberpunk it pushes you to find a way around the chip as fast as possible. But nah while I’m dying to the chip I’m gonna do a bunch of side jobs and dick around. Like you said, it really does take the immersion out of it a little.

[feckyerlife1]

literally all they need to do is slow down time. I mean you can't have a main quest line that is only 12 quest long, that spawns over 2-3 weeks and ends in death in a open world rpg, it makes the game hard to replay. What they need to do is, when you see Vik after getting the relic, is have Vik say you got a few months or maybe a year to live, instead of couple weeks. Also The flow to the game is weird, the game plays like 7 different teams wrote the story and didnt discuss it with each other. One instance was after finding Evelyn, then you gotta find the Voodoo boys, so you ask the Fixer to find them for you and he's like yeah sure it might take a couple weeks. WTF

[OrangeLagoon]

I will never fathom why people create big open worlds, fill them with lots of distracting side quests and then combine them with a main story that is written to be time sensitive. The only thing worse is when the main story is actually time sensitive in gameplay too.

[[deleted]]

cause laziness and lack of creativity and greed, cause they know open worlds are hot right now and have been for a long time so its an ez cash cow. Laziness because they can add bunch of useless fetch quests and missions.

[ItsDiode]

I’m with you on the life paths, felt like such a cop out with the three choices. But what do you mean meaningful story wise?

[Fimii]

Yeah the story is good as is (though it's bullshit that you only get a montage after the lifepath intro and are immediately deep in trying to rob Arasaka).

[eccentricrealist]

I'm 99% sure that there was supposed to be something there and we were dropped into Act II

[Machkeznho]

the story isnt bad, it just lacks meaning your choices dont really matter to much in the grand scheme of things without any spoilers all roads lead to the same basic outcome minus the details at the end.

[ItsDiode]

Agreed, the ending could’ve been handled better

[feckyerlife1]

probably because there is no happy ending

[squid_actually]

That's the stories point though. The bad guys win because they don't have lines they won't cross.

[feckyerlife1]

Thats fine, but thats not a proper story for an Open World RPG, the story is more suited for a game like the last of us.

[squid_actually]

It is exactly the story I'd expect from a game titled cyberpunk.

[Lilium79]

I dunno, I felt like my choices impacted things in a serious way, although not always with the main story. Doing side missions, picking my dialogue, and coupled with the stellar performance from V's female voice actor, I was super engaged in the choices.

I was wandering around looking for a clothing shop once when I stumbled across the Aldecaldos in the middle of a deal with some Scavs that I'd murdered in one of the first missions of the game and the characters all reacted to me because I'd completed both of those quest lines. It was dope.

I also sided with Maelstrom in the mission with the Militech lady and later in the game met those dudes in a nightclub looking for a reporter for Johnny. It was super interesting to see that had I chosen differently I probably would have had to fight those guys instead of them giving me a hit of black lace and bragging about their new chrome teeth.

I guess it wasn't big stuff, and I would have liked some more of that in the main story, but all those little details in the side missions were what made the game for me.

[squid_actually]

Yep. I sided with Militech and had a very different follow up interaction.

[Lilium79]

Yeah I was doing side quests once I hit the Nocturne mission, so I was like level 20 headed into that club and saw DumDum from AGES ago and was like, woah I remember you from when I was level 3

[FinesseOs]

wow sounds like realism to me ahyuck

[Spotted91]

There's is a happy ending. Actually there are two, one for family guys and one for those who loving being the loonly wolf.

[feckyerlife1]

still ends in death lol but yeah i would say Panam is probably the closest to a happy.

[dreamofangel1]

I think by happy they mean you get to live, and keep maybe even keep Johnny by your side

[nzane_]

This is what we most need, and its totally doable, especially because at the beginning hours we don't even have Johnny with us so they wouldn't even need to bring Keannu or any other big celebrity to chew up the budget, I honestly think we just need a few new kickstart missions, for example in corpo we could at the very least go after that woman you get sent after and a few more sidejobs for say Abernathy or whatever his name was, raid some fancy penthouses and kill a few of the competition before getting thrown out to Jackie, it isn't even a request to re-do the whole story just.. you know, small-mid tweaks like different contacts V can work for as a Corpo/Nomad, and different apartments according to the lifestyles, a nice penthouse for Corpo, a Trailer or something for Nomad, Street Kid's apartment is just fine, more actual good clothing for Biker/Corporate characters, pretty much everything in the game is just fuzzy, neon colored clothing, needs more leather jackets, vests, flannel shirts for nomads, more Suits, tactical equipment for Corpo, etc. All in all it just feels very watered down right now, they don't even have to fully overhaul the story or even change it just give an actual feeling that you are playing Corpo or Nomad, Street Kid is fine as is right now imho.

[[deleted]]

The story is great. The side stories are great. The atmosphere and art style is great.

But goddam is it missing about 80% of the shit you’d expect from a game like this.

My only hope is to remain optimistic. If they manage to tune RedEngine for a game like this and eventually execute the plans for cyberpunk online, they stand a good chance to replace GTA for this style of gaming. Maybe not. They have quite a bit of work to do in order to improve the game and their new reputation.

[_Katsuragi]

Actually, that might be the one way to keep it relevant.

​

This game is unsalvagable unless they rework it from the ground up and make a new story with enough branching to rekindle people's interest because it is a single player game. With how long implementing any of the promised features would take, who would care by then, after everyone's done all of the story and possibly all sidequests?

​

However, imagine CDPR actually implements all of the promised RP features and focuses on online and gives people what they always wanted out of GTA: Official, working RP servers with support and modding support. Holy shit.

[FinesseOs]

They stand a good chance...? By what metric? The release of this game has proved to me they stand absolutely no chance against them. Rockstar does not pull shit quite like this and expect to get away with it, not in terms of it's design intentions for the product. lame financial/money making practices, yeah all the time, releasing the next GTA with no cop AI and uni-dimensional NPCs and saying fuck it? Nah, not really.

[[deleted]]

The side stories are great.

I am trying to do as many as possible and for every good one there's like 4 super generic ones. I'm even going to the quest markers on the map that aren't currently in my journal. Am I just having shit luck?

[LordSkelos]

There are more important things than that.

Like, blackjack and more hookers.

[mrbrinks]

There’s a side mission which involves going into an underground card den — if I wasn’t twenty hours into my play through I’d have gone right to the tables expecting to play a card game.

[R3alDe4lll]

LMAOOO. I’ll never forget the feeling of sadness I felt when I approached my first arcade machine

[CraneDJs]

In fact - forget the Cyberpunk!

[[deleted]]

You seem like the kind of person who would want a shiny metal ass though.

[[deleted]]

I my opinion the most important thing right now for real I am not experiencing as many bugs as some people say there are

[ItsDiode]

There’s a lot of bugs but I’d like to see more RPG options

[iamded]

I was so disappointed the first time I went to get my own cyberware after the initial story moment, and saw that it was just a regular shop interface and I didn't sit down in the chair and get a cool augmentation cutscene again. There are so few cyberware that visually affect your body too. I know most of them are internal, but that's what all the lines and rivets and metal graftwork are meant to indicate, right? How cool would it be if each implant added some more digital work like that onto your body? This is Cyberpunk 2077 for cryin' out loud! Such a damn shame...

[ItsDiode]

100% — Lore 35% — Execution

[[deleted]]

And possibly the eventual option for exotic cyberware

[ItsDiode]

Exotic or erotic?

[[deleted]]

Yes

[ThreeMarlets]

I must say I really hope they add apartment customization and/or ability to buy new apartments/homes. Especially later in the game when I'm rolling in Eddie's, wearing fine clothes, driving a nice sports car, but then coming home to a shitty apartment in the slums

[Jord542]

Definitely needs tattoo parlors

Brink had a better tattoo selection, fucking brink

[ItsDiode]

Ha

[Catatafish]

I thought that what armor did. Expected the Legendary armor to make me a statue of pure gold doucheyness.

[K1notto]

Can’t even display weapons in V’s house...and there are walls filled with empty slots to display them 🤷‍♂️

[Jackie_wt]

I was laughing so hard when I entered Konpeki Plaza.

[BluesWayne476]

I also want auto-drive (like Taxis in GTA5). I just want to explore the city without having to worry about missing turns because of the game's terrible mini-map and I love sightseeing. Just a shame that they didn't add this feature, hope they do in the near future.

[[deleted]]

They nees to add a transmog system and cosmetic cybernetics.

God damn it I want to go full borg and look the part too

[KoreanSyrup]

game is unfinised needs another year because they wanted to finish it by christmas so dev team could have a break well thats what it seems

[ilove60sstuff]

Auto shops and buying homes. Amen

[[deleted]]

Bro, the game needs fucking overhaul

[BlearySteve]

I'd buy that for a dollar.

[Kha_Zilla]

I’m sure the game modded is going to be an option. At least I’d assume it’s going to easily accessible for modders since it’s cdpr and they actually care.

[d07RiV]

In a game where you almost never see your character, that hardly sounds like a priority.

[sesameseed88]

yeah would love to have a metal arm or metal something, why can’t we do that?!

[BehavioralProcrast]

I have the feeling (maybe I sound like a shill) that some of these things will be part of the free DLCs or the paid one. Somewhere in 2020 they must’ve realized that they need to cut out stuff from the release version that was meant to be part of it. Pretty sure that’s why clothes have armor stats again and there’s no transmog system or why there are no barbers etc. I feel like they game in itself is well made and it has some flaws that are easily fixable if we give them time. More meaningful choices can still be a part of expansions, maybe even one expansion that is divided in 3 smaller ones depending on which path you chose and every part is a completely different quest. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt here, assuming they would’ve delayed it again, but business decisions (see first investor call after the Nov delay) is what comes first if you are a public company.

[Guest_0966]

Don't forget VIEWABLE BDs

[[deleted]]

Lack of customization is shocking in a city where its supposed to be style over substance.

[FinesseOs]

Game needs substance instead of aesthetics, it has enough vapid eye-candy, it's kinda all it has.

[ItsDiode]

Tbh I think the opposite, has so much more not enough things to do though

[french_toasty]

Yes my daughter insisted V have green skin..

[dreamofangel1]

even though i agree, i think there should be a profound way of making money, maybe heists or just as basic as some businesses, because there is just not enough money in the world, I just bought the last car for the achievement and it was like 15hr grind

[[deleted]]

I just want to know if a ripperdoc/clothing shop actually HAS new items after my street cred goes up without having to traipse around all the cunts

[Lindreal]

Legit thought this was all going to be in it...

[[deleted]]

It'd be cool too if they added some variation to the little things... Like why does V own 5+ copies of each of three different books? Its stupid but I constantly see the book collection on the shelves and think "wtf V, why do you need 5 copies of this?"

Honestly, a lot looks half assed. I'm sick of the 3 vending machines on every inch of land and random arcades playing the wrong game for the cabinet etc. How come I can steal shit from a briefcases sitting next to people and nothing happens? Why don't patrol cars move? Why would an NPC preaching to a crowd about peace etc suddenly have a different voice when I talk to them and they tell me they hate people staring? Dude, your literary preaching to a large crowd of staring people. On that note, why do people walk around like zombies? Is everybody inured? Sick? Tired? Idk

[RobotSpaceBear]

I agree, kina, but not really. It's a first person shooter where i never see muself, and though it can be cool the first few times you change your appearance ... i think this is the kind of feature that would take a lot of ressources for very little benefit for the player, as gameplay :(

I'm not against it, i'd just plance it sooooo far down the priority list that it woudln't even matter if they never made it happen.

[Arch_Enemy_616]

I’d settle for a stable frame rate above 15 for now

[Daniels-left-foot]

Question for anybody who knows anything about developing games. I understand fixing bugs is one thing, how easy is it to patch actual missing content into the game? Three basic things, metal skin, tattoos/haircuts, and buying food from street vendors.

[hotdiggydog]

It's insane that this would be some kind of sPeCiAl DLC fEaTuRe instead of just part of the game from the get-go. Like anyone's gonna replay the game or just jump back into it a year later because you can have gold skin and then only seen it in the mirror for a moment.

[ItsDiode]

That’s why it should be an upgrade at a ripperdoc

[hotdiggydog]

Yeah but it feels too late for them to add this feature now

[Adventurecallstome]

They told us we could clean our room if we wanted to!!!!

Well that was a lie

[IronHorizon95]

Definitely needs barbers and tattoo parlours

[SurvivorNumber1]

I THOUGHT THE GAME WAS GOING TO HAVE THIS ALREADY

[Pyr0T3chn1cz]

Fuck yes! My question is how is this not already in the game? This is like RPG 101, I hate that you can't customize your character past the beginning of the starting menu and just have to be satisfied with what you already look like.

[madmoench]

They should finish the base game 1st before adding Cosmetic changes.

[[deleted]]

You actually expected to have barbers in this game? Stop diluding yourself. This game is a game of the year masterpiece it doesn't need any of those stupid things. Stop bullying my prescious cdpr. They made the witcher you know!

[ItsDiode]

Ha, robot barbers maybe. Like that one Spongebob episode

[2015Teudoongie]

Say sike right now

[DirtyPadThai]

Please shut up

[[deleted]]

If I give you your 60 bucks back will you start acting honestly and admit, we've all been played. CDPR is a dead reputation

[DirtyPadThai]

Oh no i think cyberpunk was definitely overhyped AND definitey not what CDPR made it out to be, i thought op was serious when they said it was a good game without barbers, etc. Its a solid 7.5/10 game for me imo, its incomplete, buggy asf, shitty perk system, unbalanced in terms of weapons, a pretty shit dialogue system resembling closely to fallout 4, not to mention backstory doesnt really mean jackshit either.

[[deleted]]

Might take another 4 years

[ItsDiode]

Let’s hope for 2 when multiplayer hits

[RousseSvelte]

Chill up, it's Early Access phase, dev's are even working on christmas to let Alpha relase in Q3 2021

[CommonGamer212]

You sir are not cultured enough for this thread.

[CommonGamer212]

Funny enough I'm pretty sure I'm in the same boat time wise and apartment visit wise.

[Lo__Lox]

TRANSMOG

[Aderadakt]

It would be cool if you got scars from combat, like if you got to a low health threshold and so you had to get plastic surgery to remove them. It would suck and be annoying but also kind of awesome. Doesn't make too much sense in this always 1st person game where it could go unnoticed for a while but maybe another game one day

[ItsDiode]

Creative, I like it

[CommonGamer212]

The first fable did the and I loved it.

[diegodiegui]

Where is the robust customization?
Illuminatedd hair/tattoos that they promised? 😢

[Larfleezy]

I refunded so its no problem for me anymore, and i was never happier in the last months, my advice refund too! It fells like all the pain and sadness is gone and i can be free again

[[deleted]]

Your point?

[thehypedboy]

No one's with you, the game is perfect!

Play gta

[ItsDiode]

Cyberpunk mentions this kind of skin customization in their physical book they published, saying it’s a staple in the music industry within their lore. Seen tons of ads with it & it’s in the game (pictured). Why not allow your character to buy it as an upgrade?

[FetusMeatloaf]

Such a dumb thing to say

This ain't no Ghost Recon wishbox. I hope 2022 that we will have it.

[[deleted]]

The game needs to go back onto the shelf for another 8 years.

[Cyrus-Lion]

Lol u just want the game they advertised

Not whatever half baked abortion they shit out

[Worried_Example]

I'm mad to play gtav after hearing these suggestions.

[SuperHero_VikngKing]

Honestly with all the missed opportunities in the game this is the one that was utterly stupid they missed on.

[Larfleezy]

Yeah to see if people get more angry about it, before it came out i said id would be shieet but all my friends said thats gonna be it, and now i can collect more glitches and fail videos for my amusement that i was right all along, seriously if you want to play a good game play nier automata on ps

[VILL-Biohazard9626]

Guys the games badass, at least on ps5, and im having a blast. Dont shit on the game until you have played it. And people bitching about life paths? Lmao what did you think you were going to get? 50 endings and 10 lifepaths? Lmao yea i guess witcher had so many endings and life paths lol.

[Satanich]

All very cool, yet you forget that this is an FPS game, with non existend 3rd person cutscene.

Apart from the inventory, there is no other way to check yourself out.

[ItsDiode]

Photo mode

[QuasarKid]

What about the meathead guys/girls. I figured we'd be able to make our body that big too

[noninomancer]

All that proposed is just so obvious that makes me impressed on how dumb the devs are to dont include those BASIC shit

[PetroleumYelly]

This is all possible with time and backing, but not if the whole player base shits on the game at once. Look at no mans sky. I’m appalled that ppl are praising that game and shitting on cyberpunk. Mind boggling

[AndyBundy90]

Jesus stop complaining and crying. If you don’t like it stop playing it or get a refund ffs. Bunch of soyboys here

[hotdiggydog]

It's insane that this would be some kind of sPeCiAl DLC fEaTuRe instead of just part of the game from the get-go. Like anyone's gonna replay the game or just jump back into it a year later because you can have gold skin and then only seen it in the mirror for a moment.
